What don’t you get here? Other than the Pacific bubble there will be no international travel without a 14 day pay for yourself quarantine stay. The numbers speak for themselves. What Australia and NZ did worked, what rational mind would think we should just chuck it away now so pilots get to fly big jets any time soon?
So you think it’s right that an Air New Zealand flight to the U.K., from a country which at present has ZERO Coronavirus cases would have all its passengers quarantined subject to legal enforcement, but people who have been in contact with COVID confirmed cases get a polite request from the government to politely self isolate if they can manage it, with zero repercussions if they don’t.
It was a knee-jerk soundbite without any rational to try and bury the Cummings story.
